MODERN fighters do that.So does the 21. It's not g-forces. In the air? There's not a lot to hit. Clouds have very little actual substance to them. Not to mention the 21 is over a meter longer than the 19. It was just a tempermental plane that liked to lose control.

Except I'm pretty sure Metal Gear predates Die Hard, and Doom is about demons from Hell...

Missed this before, or I'd've commented then. There's some confusion of terms going on here. Game engine and pre-rendered aren't antonyms. You have in-engine and out-of-engine graphics, and pre-rendered and real-time graphuiics. Pre-rendered means it was rendered in advance as opposed to on-the-fly. Pre-rendered sources can't be manipulated, because they have to be altered BEFORE the rendering phase. And they actually AREN'T rendered in 3D. The act of rendering, as we're using the term, converts all your 3D textures, models, lightsources, and whatnot into a single finished 2D image. Yoou can have both pre-rendered and real-time graphics either in-engine or out-of-engine. The PS1 FF games, for example, all have pre-rendered city and dungeon maps with real-time characters in-engine. Dragon's Lair(the original arcade game, not the modern 3D action title) uses pre-rendered graphics exclusively within the game engine. This is NOT true of all LaserDisk games, as several had real-time graphics overlayed on top of the LaserDisk background. Arguably, NES Ninja Gaiden's cutscenes are rendered in real-time, but very clearly out-of-engine.

My Vectrex is over 20 years old, and never had aliasing that needed to be anti-aliased out in the first place. ... Of course, this is because a vector display draws lines straight onto the screen instead of a grid of pixels and not any major diffrences in the digital hardware or coding approach, so it's really an apples to orannge-slice candies comparison...

I still don't see how people can claim Isamu was a better pilot. Particularly since at the end of the day Guld had killed an AI drone with no G force restrictions and Isamu offed a pop star that couldn't aim a gun to save her life. Yup. It was maiming pilots as fast as they could strap 'em in.

I'd rather be raped by savages than play anything that reminde dme of a 3D0. And really, did you HAVE to stuff all those images in your post? Not everyone is sexually aroused to the point of orgasm by jaggy cars.

Too true. If you want to cry, get Lunar 2. First ending's a real tear-jerker. And no one even dies. One of the few games to squeeze tears out of me. LUCIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! First time I beat it, I just sat there for a few minutes staring at the big "THE END" on the screen. "Nuh-uh! They wouldn't do that! That's not how it's supposed to go! When are they gonna come back and fix it? Hello? Is this thing on? That can't REALLY be the end? Can it?" The SegaCD version even created the epilogue save file int eh background, so I didn't know about it until I started a new file to "fix" things, and then went to reload the new game I'd started and saw epilogue listed on the load screen.

We don't know that. Guld had mental problems, and that's as likely to have caused issues as the actual hardware.

Get a multi-region player, get an R2 player, or find an exploit in your existing player/PC DVD-ROM. I'm sure no one minds.

The board actually isn't clear. The bars could be weighted any direction imaginable. Plausable weightings = Bigger is better, smaller is better, or right in the middle is better. I'd considered the 19 to have won largely as a reward to Isamu for kicking Sharon's virtual ass. But if I recall, it's been pointed out before that it was also cheaper than the 21, and fit better in the existing hangers. Which likely had more to do with it.

EWWW! HE LIKES GUNDAM WING!!!! UNCLEAN!!!!!

There's actually some awkward scaling there, as the battrodi stands about 20 feet higher than the average zentradi. Presumably that equates to larger hands and arms too. No need for gunpod mdoes if the hand responds fast enough. You can rig the software to squeeze a round off and then release. .... Actaully, they SHOULD have added a data link of some sort into the weapon so the "trigger" was electrical instead of mechanical. That would've made it far easier to use in fighter mode, given you a more versatile GERWALK/battroid weapon, made the gun overall more reliable, and prevented zentradi firearm theft, all at once. That was actually mentioned very early in the series. Focker observes shortly after the fold that they're a lot more dangerous in space. Mistake. Though there is DYRL's strike variant of the FAST packs that mounts a beam weapon in place of one of the missile pods. Most plausable argument I can see for not making handheld energy weapons is power density. Humanity didn't ahve hte kind of supercapacitors needed for an energy rifle. Heck, teh zentradi used mounted weapons mostly anyways. The Nousjadeul-Ger was the only thing that even HAD non-mounted weapons(of course, it and the QRau are the only things with hands in the first place...). Possibly. It's possible that the zentradi armor was "weighted" towards energy and explosive weapons, with very little attention paid to simple penetrators. If the weapons they haul around are any indication, nobody was USING bullets anymore, so why armor against them? It's zentradi SWAT gear. It's not gonna stop anything really nasty, but it'll offer them some protection against lighter infantry weapons.

That's proof that the condom is only 99% effective. 336571[/snapback] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! EXO is officially the master of the funny.

Don't you guys mean Mospeeder?

Yowzers! When you guys decide to take a disliking to somebody, you really dislike them! Tough crowd, tough crowd! 336621[/snapback] Aww, c'mon. He's earned every bit of it.

This paragraph is self-contradicting. 336428[/snapback] Only because you are on crack. 336569[/snapback] And you're on LSD. What's the point here?

Fixed it for ya Mr. Troll. 336495[/snapback] Fix++

I haven't seen anything expressing fear. Certainly not in that article. You're a 'tard, BTW. 336042[/snapback] I second that motion. I would like to move that we ban MGTroll from the boards on the basis that he is: a) A child beater b) A retarded Troll c) A happy person who watches Homotech Thank you. 336497[/snapback] And I second THAT motion.

It'd still be a Dreamcast, though. 336452[/snapback] A new Dreamcast? ...I could live with that. I'd rather have a home NAOMI2, personally.

*shudders* I'll have nightmares for months now. THANKS.

It'd still be a Dreamcast, though.

Well, they already HAD done it was the problem. The Atomiswave(about which the rumors revolved) was identical to a Dreamcast, except that it used ROM carts instead of disks. Alternatively, it was a NAOMI with less RAM. Your choice of viewpoints.

The Voltron Force is currently running a pledge drive to aid refugees from the recently devastated Smurf Village. Leader Kieth issued a statement calling the UN's actions "barbaric." When asked about the possibility of more direct assistance, he pointed out that the large size of the Force's vehicles made that unlikely. "Sadly, we can contribute no direct aid to the defensive effort. Voltron's foot is larger than the entire town. We'd decimate the very people we were trying to protect. " Perhaps most surprisingly, Voltron Force's long-time enemy, Prince Lotor, is a vocal supporter of the effort, and has already donated five thousand credits to the cause. "Ordinarily I'd take advantage of the distraction provided by this campaign to unleash another robeast on a defenseless Arus," the prince of Planet Doom stated, "but I cannot ignore the suffering of another blue-skinned character, much less an entire kingdom of them. While he's far too lenient with his peons, Papa Smurf has always been a strong voice for the rights of blue people in the universe, and if I must work with my enemies to fight racial injustice, so be it. Besides, Hagar's on vacation, so I can't make another robeast anyways." There are rumors that the recent move by the force is not purely motivated by altruism, and that Princess Allura's space mice are close relatives of Baby Smurf. The mice rapidly dismissed this rumor, stating that "squeesqueesquee! SQUEE!"

This paragraph is self-contradicting.

Mine was back on the 30th.
